would HOST_LIBCRYPTO be better?

I had considered a shorter kconfig such as the above. Does it mean
    (1) The build host has libcrypto available?
    (2) We use the libcrypto on the host?
    (3) There is a libcrypto for the target?

"tools" is a subset of what we do on the host so it seems more concrete. I realize you could read "tools use libcrypto" as a statement rather than a question, which would seem odd in kconfig.

As far as having a verb, I thought it to be important because there isn't a substantially similar use of Kconfig in u-boot. I didn't want the name to be too vague.

Hope this clears things up,
Alex
